 also considerably smaller than P. denini, viz. 20 mm. in length, and the 

 lateral borders of the body have broad yellow margins.

The specimens from New Guinea and Ceram are of the normal character 

 and do not require any special remarks. It is otherwise with the 5 from Java, 

 Brunner^) gives the following dimensions for the -l: body 24—32 mm; 

 pronotum, length 7.8—9 mm; pronotum, width 12 — 16 mm. The largest 

 specimen ( ^) in the O.U.M., from the Shortland Islands, Solomon Archipelago, 

 measures: body 31 mm; pronotum, length 10 mm ; pronotum, width 16 mm. 

 The specimen from Java (9) is 31.5 mm. in length, thus agreeing with the 

 highest record, but its pronotum, measuring 11X20 mm., is considerably 

 larger than in the other described specimens. Its identification, however^ 

 cannot be definitely settled, as 

 both posterior metatarsi are mis- 

 sing and an important specific 

 character is thus lost.
